is there any possibility to put /boot from Martin Michlmayrs Debian lenny tar ball (http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html) on a sd card?Because i have the problem, that the sheevaplug only boots from my usb stick.But I need my usb harddisk, too and I don't want to buy an usb hub.

on the webpage of Martin is a description how to change the boot-args for MMC/SD via the serial console in Marvell U-Boot enviromentBUT in order to use it you have to update your U-Boot "BIOS" to a version which has Boot-Support for MMC/SD

You will need to setup a TFTP-Server, put 3 Lines in the Marvell-enviroment and start the update-process with the"bubt u-boot.bin"

Because I updated my U-Boot yesterday I didnt test the boot from MMC/SD since yesterday. But I only have to change the boot-args, because I already prepared a 8GB TransCend SDHC with the debian-tarball.

If you wouldnt stress your english-skills you are welcome to ask at www.sheevaplug.de in german language :-)or we will help you to translate your problem for creating a thread for this forum here.

EDIT:Now I have changed by boot-args to boot from SD and voila it works :-))Here is the Output from the serial console booting my 8GB TransCend SDHC:

Thank you very much for your detailed answer...but then I have to put mountpoint "/" on the sd card.I only want to put "/boot" on the sd card....But as far as I know all mountpoints are managed in /etc/fstab...
